Bettinardi unveils 2022 BB Series and Inovai Series putters
Bettinardi Golf has today announced its updated production putter lines: the 2022 BB Series and Inovai lineup.
The lineup features an upgraded BB Series and Inovai 6.0 series while introducing the all-new high MOI Inovai 8.0.
Inovai 6.0
Featured on the 2022 Inovai 6.0 and 8.0 models is Bettinardi’s newest Roll Control face milling, which has been scientifically engineered with an asymmetrical design groove profile in design to promote more topspin at impact to put the ball into a true roll faster.
Without the use of inserts, the Roll Control face aims to give players excellent feel and optimal audible feedback at impact.
The Inovai 6.0 has been updated from an aesthetic standpoint, with the head reduced by 5% to offer a more compact head shape in design to promote optimal visual alignment.
The Bettinardi patented Roll Control face now adorns all 4 of the models in the Inovai 6.0 lineup, which includes a slant neck, a spudneck in both right-handed and left-handed and center-shafted models.
Speaking on the Inovai 6.0 models, Vice President Sam Bettinardi said
“The Inovai 6.0 has been one of the most successful head shapes we have ever created. With two years of Tour feedback, we were able to refine the 6.0 with a 5% smaller head from heel to toe, offering a sleek, more compact design than its predecessor. We are proud to bring this Tour-proven model to golfers around the world.”
Inovai 8.0
The Inovai 8.0 is an all-new addition to the Inovai family, blending Bettinardi’s latest technology with the brand’s Roll Control face milling, creating an all-new head design inspired by Tour feedback.
Precision milled from 303 Stainless Steel, and 6061 Military Grade aluminum, the bi-metal technology on the Inovai 8.0 is designed to optimize weight distribution with more mass in the rear of the putter for greater forgiveness and stability.
The 8.0 is available in four offerings, including slant neck, left-handed slant neck, spudneck, and for the first time in Bettinardi’s Armlock technology.
On the Inovai 8.0, Vice President Sam Bettinardi said
“The Inovai 8.0 adds a new level of innovation to Bettinardi Golf. We are now able to enter the ever-growing compact mallet segment with all of the performance characteristics that our Tour players have asked for. This new model is a game changer for the Bettinardi brand, and we cannot wait for players of all calibers to put this new design into play.”
BB Series of Putters
The BB series of putters feature Flymill face milling and arrive in a graphite gray PVD finish. Precision milled from 303 Stainless Steel; the release contains the new BB46 model for the 2022 lineup.
The 2022 BB Series features four unique models: the BB1, which comes in both right-handed and left-handed versions; the BB1F (Flow); the BB8W (Wide); and the new addition to the line, the mid-mallet BB46.
Speaking on the 2022 BB Series, Founder and CEO of Bettinardi Golf, Robert J. Bettinardi, said
“Bettinardi Golf is proud to continue the tradition of American made craftsmanship and ingenuity, creating our most timeless and advanced BB Series to date. Our all-new BB Series is now milled out of a solid block of 303 Stainless Steel and features our all-new Aggressive Flymill face milling, finished with our gorgeous graphite gray PVD finish that gives this series of putters a Tour inspired look, feel, and performance.”
The first opportunity to purchase the 2022 product line will take place during Bettinardi’s special-edition Black Friday Hive release at www.bettinardi.com, which is set for November 26th at 10 a.m. CST.
For this release, all new models will be available in a special blackout finish, paired with a black shaft, matching series black headcover, and Bettinardi Lamkin SinkFit grip.
The official launch of all production putters is set for March 2022.

Since our founding in 2005, the bedrock of GolfWRX.com has been the community of passionate and knowledgeable golfers in our forums, and we put endless trust in the opinions of our GolfWRX members — the most knowledgeable community of golfers on the internet. No other group of golfers in the world tests golf clubs as frequently or as extensively, nor is armed with such in-depth information about the latest technology.
Below are the results of GolfWRX member voting for the 2025 best driver, along with the vote percentage for each club.
Best driver of 2025: The top 5
5. Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond: 6.02%
Callaway’s pitch: “For golfers looking for a fast, forgiving, yet workable driver, the Elyte Triple Diamond features a tour-inspired shape and is the preferred model by most Callaway tour players.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond here.
4. Ping G440 Max: 6.86%
Ping’s pitch: “The most forgiving G440 model, MAX has a hotter face to generate speed and distance, and a lighter overall system weight with a longer shaft (46″) for faster clubhead speed, higher launch and longer carries. The Free Hosel and Carbonfly Wrap crown save weight to create our lowest CG ever and increase forgiveness while contributing to a more muted, pleasing sound.”

3. Ping G440 LST: 9.53%
Ping’s pitch: “LST is an especially good fit for faster swings, offering less spin and more control with a penetrating trajectory. A hotter face, lighter overall system weight and longer shaft (46″) deliver more speed and distance while maintaining tight dispersion.”
@phizzy30: “Not a fan of Ping drivers in general, but 440 LST takes the cake. It’s super forgiving across the face for a low spin head, looks and sounds good and the ability to make it play neutral or slightly fade biased through the hosel settings is very appealing.”

2. Titleist GT3: 16.55%
Titleist’s pitch: “The GT3 Driver offers Titleist’s boldest combination of power and personalization through adjustable performance. Dial in the CG Track to your frequent contact location to make your biggest drives even bigger while taking total control over flight and shaping.”
@mrmikeac: “I’ve been Anti-Titleist for years and years and years (outside of Vokey, of course). With that being said, HOLY BEGEEZUS the GT3 driver is an absolute NUCLEAR MONSTER! This thing blew my G430 10K Max out of the water in every single category. Forgiveness is the biggest thing that stands out of me, the 3 model has always been one of the less forgiving models in the past but this GT3 can take bad shot after bad shot and still end up in the fairway, I think a ton of that has to do with the adjustability, it’s actually effective. Feel and sound is perfect, that solid crack is so addicting to hear and when you hit it out the screws this thing can absolutely bomb it. Titleist, I’m sorry for doubting you. You have converted me.”

1. Titleist GT2: 22.91%
Titleist’s pitch: “Delivering impressive distance from any impact point, the Titleist GT2 Driver extracts maximum performance through a forgiving design. Get the stability and added confidence of a high-MOI driver without sacrificing speed.”
@DTorres: “The Titleist GT2 has proven to be the best driver of the year. Packaged in a classic profile, GT2 perfectly balances performance and forgiveness while consistently being a high performer across all categories.”

The BB series is always nice but they should have included more head shapes. They always have BB1 and BB1F. Bring out a BB-8 Tri or something. Throw in some top-line alignment options. Also what’s up with the price jump? They went from $300 to $430.

Maybe try not having an ad plastered all over the header and people will be more interested in an honest review an info about the club.

The keep avoiding the regular BB8 and BB0. Like literally the models everyone wants. Their main competition keeps pumping those out. Getting Stale indeed.
